Pretty much, yes. The flood was probably another big contributor to that fact.

Indeed. That's the risk of posting in this section, pretty much anything goes, since magic is allowed.

It's even worse than that. God actually sat around for an infinitely long time doing nothing at all. Try to wrap your head around that one!

God's eternal, no?
Time did not exist until man invented a way to measure duration/existence. Until then there was only duration/existence.
Or time, as normal people call it.

Re: If God is good, why is there evil.
Minority Report writes: If you were to make a top 100 list for greatest sufferers in all history, God would be No.1 on that List.
Oh please. Like he was the only one that was tortured to death.

Re: If God is good, why is there evil.
Minority Report writes: I was not just referring to the physical suffering during His death. God Still exists and is still suffering, and He has been since Adam sinned, from our continual rejection of Him. Individuals may have suffered physically more than Jesus, but they did not bear the weight of the worlds sin. God loves each one of us, and every sin we commit grieves Him, as does every one of us that chooses to be eternally separated from Him.
Well, this is the "faith and belief" forum, so I guess there is not much i can do to counter that, since it is your belief, and is internally consistent. Regardless, I don't believe that to be the case, so let's leave it at that. I will say that I now understand where you are coming from, and in that context, you were right, god is the biggest sufferer of all.

Re: If God is good, why is there evil.
I can see a problem right here:
Minority Report writes: Larni: Ok then, my will is to reject you, and any help you offer. God: Alrighty then, but don't blame me for not helping when you suffer the consequences of your actions.
Many that suffer have accepted god. They still suffer, nothing is done by god to help them. See Haiti, almost all of the people there are Christians.
